Obama Addresses Muslim Nation

In Obama's speech today in Cairo, he described a world in which christians, Jews and Muslims can all work together for the better of the world.

Highlights:

-Islam and the United States can work together.

-9/11 was an attack on the U.S. and everyone else and we needed to respond to its perpetrators: Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

-The Iraq war was a "choice war" and we want to get out asap

-Israel needs to be recognized and Palestine needs its own state.

-Iran can only pursue peaceful nuclear power/energy
